Tinder: I see cadow-shamera. Cadow?! Shadow of your camera but it’s still defined. Okay. That’s..blaugh! ??? I’m rolling for and, Rolling. ??? Alright, so, whenever you’re ready, push on.
Cut.
Bhuma: What did you enjoy about the shoot today?
Tinder: Mmm. I enjoyed the excitement of coming to a new place with somebody I know and love who is a safe person, you, in my life. So it was like going to a new, exciting place with someone I trust. Umm, so, it felt like an adventure. Umm, but not a dangerous adventure; like, a safe adventure. And I loved knowing you, so deeply. And I love how, umm, our shoot was, like, part truth, part, like, kind of, this like “idea” we had to do. I thought that was fun. I really liked my orgasm. It was really true; like, that’s the first orgasm I’ve had in, like, a month-and-a-half!
Bhuma: That’s awesome!
Tinder: Umm, yeah. What did you like about the shoot?
Bhuma: Mmm. Yeah, I liked being able to bring some silliness and realness and just like, “Yeah, this is what we’re doing! And it’s fun!” And, yeah, with someone that I know. I liked playing with the clothespins. And I liked when you ripped them off! That was really—
Tinder:
Bhuma: —…exhilarating. Umm. Yeah, I liked it a lot.
Cut.
Tinder: Oh?! Is that too much?
Bhuma: No, I like it.
Cut.
Tinder: What was challenging about the shoot for you?
Bhuma: Yeah, it was challenging in a way. It was like, “Yeah, I know this person so well,” so it makes it easy but it also makes it extremely challenging to be like, “OK, now I’m having sex with you,” and, it’s you and in a way it’s kind of mind-fucking along with it all.
Tinder:
Bhuma: Yeah, I feel like we both have a challenge with time awareness and spatial awareness.
Tinder: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Bhuma: So, interesting to have sex in a more contained environment. That’s always a fun…variable.
Tinder: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Bhuma: What was challenging to you?
Tinder: Yeah, it was definitely challenging to know you so well and to, yeah, to be within a time constraint, like you were saying, was hard. But, then, I felt like there was a moment when it was just, I kind of forgot about cameras and timeframes and was just in it. And then I’d become aware of that and be like, “Oh, shit! Like, we need to stay focused on the task.” Orgasms that [???] happens, or something, I don’t know! So, that was funny, being in that dichotomy of feelings and intimacy and then, like, being on a timeline. That was challenging.
But, other than that, um, I’m grateful to feel comfortable in my body. It’s not challenging to be sexual in front of other people. And, I’m like, “Is that weird?” Like, “Is that OK?” I don’t know. But that feels empowering.
Cut.
Tinder: Ohhh, Godddd! Oh, fuck! Oh, God! Oh, shit!
Cut.
Tinder: What are your safe-sex practices? And why?
Bhuma: Um, my top one would be communication. I feel like there’s a lot of nitty-gritty about how I want, or can be, in terms of how I want to practice safe sex. And, like, the most key factor for me, especially with a new partner but, really, with anyone is to have an open line of communication where physical and emotional safety are put out and addressed and a container is made where everyone can express what they need to feel safe. Along with what they need or want to feel pleasure. And, Yeah.
Tinder: Yeah. Communication is definitely my number one safe sex tool because then, from there, you can figure out, like, where people’s boundaries are and what they need to feel safe. But, yeah, it starts with that talk. And, I get tested with every new partner.
Bhuma: Yeah!
Tinder: So, getting tested is important to me, and just being on top of that. And having supplies on hand, even if I’m just gonna—if me and my…lover choose not to use them, just having supplies is important, too.
Cut.
Bhuma: Ohhh. Fuck! Oh, my god! Oh, fuck.
Tinder:
Cut.
Tinder: Why do you do porn? And why do you continue to do porn?
Bhuma: Um…. I feel like that’s a question that I ask myself a lot. And I’m always re-evaluating what my relationship is to my sexuality and how I share it with the world and, for me, doing porn feels like— In a way it’s like a radical act of, like, celebration and self-love. It’s like, “This is my body,” and I feel really excited about it and about sharing it with this other person or people and being able to— I know that, like, I’ve learned a lot from watching porn – good porn! – and that I’ve, like, explored new things through porn, and I feel like being a part of a movement of people that are creating porn that is inspiring and educational and sexy and fun is, like, really an honor.
Tinder: Mmm.
Bhuma: Yeah. Why do you do porn?
Tinder: Mmm. Um, I feel like it is really important to have examples of embodied, real, fun pleasure. Growing up, as a teenager, I watched porn and that is really the sex education that young people get is this very specific way of fucking. And that’s really terrible. As the only option! If it was one of many options, it’d be different. Um, and I’m not advocating for young people getting sex education through watching porn but I feel like porn is also, can be a good place for that education to happen. So, I feel excited to participate in ventures that are sex positive, um, and body positive.
Anything else, that you want to say about sex or puppies or anything?
Bhuma: Ummm, yeah. I guess, I don’t know, it just feels…it— I’ve never had sex with someone on…doing porn who I was this close to for so long and it feels really amazing to like— I feel like I’m always interested in finding ways of, just different models of sexuality and how to share that with [the?] people I love ’cause it’s such a huge part of my identity. And, so, it feels really special to continue to explore that as something that’s a huge part of both of our lives that we think about and explore and work and do. And, it just feels really amazing to sit with someone else who I share so much with and share yet another experience…
Tinder:
Bhuma: …along with the craziness of the past week of adventuring together!
Tinder: Yeah. Is there anything else I want to share? I don’t think so. I feel pretty comfy. Thank you.
Bhuma: Thank you.
